Description brainstuff 2012-09-14 15:32:07 UTC
I want to have in the next version a possibility to have headers with a sort function (like in thunderbird who it is possible to sort colums by a click on the header)

I'm assuming you mean in the column labels (such as A,B,C). I don't see this happening in the next version (we have over 5,000 confirmed issues), but I'll confirm that this is a valid enhancement request. 

Marking as Enhancement - Medium

Rationale for Medium priority - relatively easy to implement, would make sorting a tad bit easier which could help quite a few users.

Note to developer who takes this: might want to look at having some kind of an option that the column has a header so it would start at 2nd row instead of 1st.

Thanks for the enhancement request

I hope this will never happen, doing left-click on the column label has the function to select the column, default option in all spreadsheets, and it is enough IMO. And how we are going to select the column then.

In the last version, setting up the Autofilter, has the option inside the filter menu to sort by data on the column filter (two clicks).

It is possible also, to assign a shortcut key for sort ascending and descending

In order to limit the confusion between ProposedEasyHack and EasyHack and to make queries much easier we are changing ProposedEasyHack to NeedsDevEval.

Thank you and apologies for the noise

Closing as WorksForMe because the requested function is available through the AutoFilter.

Best regards. JBF
